Final Exam Attendance Policy:

Final exams at J.F. are Wednesday, Thursday and Friday May 23rd, 24th & 25th. Students with zero period exams will take their exams Monday and Tuesday, May 21st and 22nd. Students may not be absent or dismissed early on May 23rd, 24th or 25th without a doctor’s excuse or court order. If a student has a doctor’s appointment or court summons, they must bring a note to the Attendance office for administrative approval before Monday, May 14th. Students who work and have an afternoon exam need to alter their work schedule in order to stay at JF until 3:35. There are no early dismissals during exam days for students to go to work.

There are, however, final exam exemptions.

Exam exemptions include:

Seniors with an A in the class

Students taking an A.P. test in that course

Students who passed an S.O.L. test in that course

If your student is exempt for one of these reasons, they do not need a note to excuse them from class and they do not have to be at JF during that exam period.
